“Just a week ago, I wrote about ‘NATO collaborators’ and ‘NATO propaganda’, hurled curses at them, talked about betrayal and Russophobia, called names for demshizu, and they all turned out to be absolutely right. Even the demshiza turned out to be right in their predictions, but I was not, ”Baronova wrote in her Telegram channel.
